He was throwing up this morning too....

Ack! Substance P rears its ugly head yet again....Is there no end to this polypeptide proliferation?! :o

HowEVah! One pesky polypeptide, particulary difficult to differentiate from substance Z, was so strikingly similar, it became known as Pseudo-Z ( :o:lol: ! )

Pseudo-Z! What a fantastic moniker! Said very quickly, it sounds vaguely Asian...Japanese or Indonesian. SO exotic--it's your new name, Susie.

....Whoa...is Jess around?...

Hey, take it up w/ the receptionist at that lab decades ago. ^_^

Things have changed.

Geek chic c'est de rigueur. (if that's incorrect usage, my story is - I just like the way it sounds - and I'm a'stickin' to it.)

21st century?? EVERYone wants a scientist! :rolleyes: Or at least someone who can 'defrag' & edit a .cfg file? Or was that just the silicon valley stock options talkin'? :blink::lol:

You guys better watch out . . . someone's gonna report you for talkin' dirty? . . . kinky? . . . nerdy! Yep, that's the one!

big hairy experiment today. will only be checking for humor

So Jess, how did the big hairy experiment go? You know, that phrasing makes me think you're experimenting on the Yeti. You're not making him run through a maze with electrodes on his head are you?

Big genetic association study. Many experiments over two months. I won't know until the end of January or so how things went (although I know I didn't drop anything, miscount anything, etc). I missed my ferry so I'm hanging out trying to figure out some badly instructed free program for doing said association studies once I have all the data.

Maybe if the yeti brings in all his friends we can find out which genes are associated with being tall and hairy.

(Maybe some of y'all or your spouses can come too....)

I had to share this one

THE GOOD NAPKINS... ahhhhh... the joys of having Girls...

>

> My mother taught me to read when I was four years old (her first mistake). One day, I was in the bathroom and noticed one of the cabinet doors was ajar.

>

> I read the box in the cabinet. I then asked my mother why she was keeping 'napkins' in the bathroom. Didn't they belong in the kitchen?

>

> Not wanting to burden me with unnecessary facts, she told me that those were for 'special occasions' (her second mistake).

>

> Now fast forward a few months. ... It's Thanksgiving Day, and my folks are leaving to pick up my uncle and his wife for dinner. Mom had assignments for all of us while they were gone.

>

> Mine was to set the table.

>

> When they returned, my uncle came in first and immediately burst into laughter. Next came his wife who gasped, then began giggling. Next came my father, who roared with laughter.

>

> Then came Mom, who almost died of embarrassment when she saw each place setting on the table with a 'special occasion' Kotex napkin at each plate, with the fork carefully arranged on top. I had even tucked the little tail in so they didn't hang off the edge!!

>

> My mother asked me why I used these and, of course, my response sent the other adults into further fits of laughter.

>

> 'But, Mom, you said they were for special occasions!!!'

Or perhaps you are apologizing for saying my bad. For this, I shall forgive you. However, if you were a diplomat, you'd be printing it eighty times across the blackboard...AND you'd have a quiet time! :o:D

Incidentally, Tom, I'm relieved to see your new, sophisticated disguise. The last chicken suit obviously failed to hide your identity, as Janet easily picked up our clandestine cyberchatter....No one will know who I'm dallying with, now. :rolleyes::lol: Incredible work...you've done PI work before, haven't you?

Hello everyone! I'm not dead! :o

It's the last full week of school, and I'm going absolutely INSANE.

1 paper

5 article reviews (yay for empirical articles in Psychology journals...NOT)

1 test today (easy, thank God)

3 tests next week

GAAAAAAA :blink::blink::blink:

I'll be back in full swing by the end of next week. I would make a pun out of that, but my brain is shot.

Hi Joyful! an egregious bundle of scholarly tasks, I must agree. We'll see you later!

Well, I'm afraid that when <SOMEONE> put all those shells into the yeti's hair <SOMEONE> used a metallic glue which apparently hasn't washed out.

Once the yeti started through the maze and started sweating, the metal bits in his hair reacted with the metal electrodes. He's fine - no need to worry - he'll just be having a bad hair day for quite some time....

The maze, unfortunately, did not fare so well.

The sparks from the electrodes ignited the walls which smoked, more than they burned and set of the sprinkler system. The water put out the flaming yeti, but made the floor very slippery. As everyone ran for the exit, the yeti slipped on the floor, slid into the wall (taking out a whole row of fleeing scientist who actually became airborne from the force of the impact and were flung into the corners of the lab) and smashed through the wall into the monitoring room.

Well, if you've ever smelled a wet, smoldering yeti you'll understand why that room emptied almost immediately as well. Unfortunately, being full of scientists, they all forgot that they were actually connected to the monitoring panel by headsets and microphones and an assortment of wires. As they ran for the door they created a web of wires which they yeti ran into, and through.

As he ran through the hallway leaving a trail of smoke and stinking wet fur on the walls he dragged the bevy of scientists along by their headsets, their wires tangled around his left leg. He managed to shake them off and ran out into the night.

I haven't seen him since, but someone said they thought they heard him muttering something that sounded like "dingos".

      Hi there any advice welcomed.

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:

Since then my digestive system is a mess. i have since noticed that 4 years ago when testing for iga allergies my iga level was .62 and my ttg was less than .1 (due to symptoms I was probably eating very plainly at that time). should I insist on being retested for celiac? I’ve since read two indicators for celiac include: sensitive to spicy foods when in flare up tooth enamel weakness and symmetrical discolouration patches on teeth which I have had since childhood on my two front teeth     thanks

With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/
